Shocks

I need to change the shocks in my envoy...

picked up a set for the front and rear

the rear i'm gonna switch from the air ride to regular jimmy 4x4 shocks...

now the rears i can compress by hand easy

as for the fronts, i can compress them by hand, but it goes slow....

is this correct or are they faulty shocks?

Re: Shocks

Are you talking the new or old shocks? You can still compress the new shocks by hand but they should be harder than the old ones you're taking off.

Re: Shocks

Fronts and rears should be similar, maybe a little stiffer on front but not a lot.
